September 11, 2009 - Matthew 26:39

“I want your will to be done, not mine.”

Is there a better prayer to pray? When I reflect on this prayer all my other prayers pale in comparison. It is this prayer that cuts to the core of my selfishness and self-centeredness. It is this prayer that takes me out of the center of my galaxy where everything and everyone revolves around me and replaces me with the Son.

Do you fear such a prayer? Why? Is His eye not on the sparrow? Do you and I really think that the life we hold onto so tightly is so much better than the one God will offer?

I think comfort is way, way overrated.
